Ingredients:

- 1 pound of fresh okra

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Direction:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

 

2. Rinse the okra under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut off the stems and tips, then slice the okra into 1/2 inch rounds.

 

3. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add the sliced okra to the bowl and toss to coat the okra evenly with the seasoning mixture.

 

4. Place the seasoned okra in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket.

 

5. Cook the okra in the air fryer for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

 

6. Once the okra is crispy and tender, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
